Science Editing

Aims & Scope

Science Editing (Sci Ed) is the official journal of the Korean Council of Science Editors (https://kcse.org) and Council of Asian Science Editors (https://asianeditor.org).

It aims to improve the culture and health of human being by promoting the quality of editing and publishing scientific, technical, and medical journals.

Expected readers are editors, publishers, reviewers, and authors of the journals around the world; however, specially focused to those in Asia.

Since scholarly journals in Asia are mostly published by the academic societies, universities, or non-profit organizations, Sci Ed is sought to play a role in journal development.

The number of publications from Asia is increasing rapidly and overpass that of other continents; meanwhile, the number of international journals and highly appreciated journals is yet to be coming forward.

It is task of Asian editors to pledge the journal quality and broaden the visibility and accessibility.

Therefore, its scope includes the followings in the field of science, technology, and medicine.
